The Get-Slim 14-Day Diet

Do morning exercises on an empty stomach. Eat your first meal of the day an hour later, then have a meal every three hours after that. Each meal should consist of one serving of protein (about the size of your palm), a starchy carbohydrate, and a fibrous carbohydrate (each the size of your fist). See food choices below. Down 10 eight-ounce glasses of water a day and take a daily multivitamin.
